I'm pleased with this camera overall. The zoom is excellent, the image quality is great, the operation is easy, and it has enough features to take it beyond mere entry-level. My only problem with it is how long it can take to auto-focus. In most cases

QuickTake:

Pros: Great zoom, image & video quality. Many good features.

I have taken 1,000+ pictures, just got a bunch of enlargements done. The 20 x 30 prints were great, but on close look I should have used a tripod. (must get 6" from print to see blur) the 8x10 prints are perfect, both very closeup and large Niagara Fall

QuickTake:

Pros: Fantastic results, great lense, no need for any other, easy
Cons: can be slow to focus, capture pictures

The 10X optical zoom can only be used if you are completely stationary. No human hand, even the greatest surgeon, can steady the camera to make this a usable hand held feature. It does take some time to practice and learn how to use the camera, the auto
